This report looks ahead to major international meetings in 2015 and beyond and is addressed to actors shaping the agenda there. It aims to identify a limited menu of recommendations for change that could be agreed collectively at those meetings. Finding space for agreement among 190-plus countries, of which the vast majority do not self-identify with terms like ‘donor’ or ‘recipient’, will not be easy. It builds on a burgeoning literature that converges on a likely new set of international Sustainable Development Goals and asks what must be done to implement them, including how best to fund them.

During March 2015, Palgrave Macmillan is offering free online access to ALL its journals, including The European Journal of Development Research (EJDR). This includes access to the current issues and online archives.
